Saturday the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne hosted the Maryland Eastern Shore Regional Spelling Bee. Wicomico Middle School Eighth Grader Gia Bautista won by correctly spelling “Blustery” Gia repeated as champion. Sixth grader Erin Welch from St. Francis de Sales was runner-up. 43 students participated this year. This is the third year UMES has sponsored the regional bee; only 17 higher education institutions are regional bee sponsors. Most of the others are newspapers and civic organizations.
